During the 2023 legislative session Minnesota enacted a sweeping set of historic reforms including automatic voter registration, Restore the Vote, and more. These reforms will expand the electorate, increase voting access, and add safeguards against threats to our democracy. Thanks to the generous support of MCF members, the Minnesota Democracy Expansion Fund has raised over $300,000 to invest in successful implementation of these reforms.
The Minnesota Democracy Expansion Fund is a statewide fund open to organizations doing work in communities throughout Minnesota.
